## Abstract

The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council have agreed to an interim rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to provide for informal, procedurally simple, and inexpensive resolution of protests. This interim rule implements Executive Order 12979 which was signed by the President on October 25, 1995. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993, and is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
